Child-Safe Window Treatments

Parkland® Wood Blinds with UltraGlide® operating system

Safety is the most important consideration for nursery and children's room window treatments. The covering you select should have a child-safe and operating system, i.e., no looped or loose pull cords and wands should be out of your child's reach.

One great option is UltraGlide® from Hunter Douglas, which uses a retractable cord mechanism to raise and lower the shade or blind. A constant cord length means there are never any long, dangling cords.

Cordless Operating Systems

Silhouette® Window Shadings with LiteRise® operating system

Another child-safe operating system is LiteRise®, a cordless, proprietary system that holds blinds and shades in any position. Simply push the window covering up to raise and pull down to lower – and your blinds and shades stay right where you put them.

The LiteRise® operating system is available on many of our Hunter Douglas shades and blinds, including - Silhouette® Window Shadings, - Solera® Soft Shades, and - Designer Roller Shades.

Motorized Window Treatments

Applause® Honeycomb Shades with PowerView® Motorization

Consider a motorized operating system for windows that are hard to reach or for added convenience on any window.

Using the intuitive PowerView App, you can automate your window treatments to move to the exact position you want throughout the day.

Room Darkening Window Treatments

Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades with Room Darkening Fabric

If your child is young enough to take naps during the day, look for window treatments made from opaque, room darkening fabrics or window treatments that come with a liner.

We recommend Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades, which combine the energy-efficient construction of a cellular shade with the clean lines and simplicity of a roller shade. The shades are available in both semi-opaque and room-darkening fabrics and 48 different colors that range from neutral grays to vibrant red.
